Johannesburg Restaurants

Jo'burgers love eating out, and there are hundreds of restaurants throughout the city to satisfy them. Some notable destinations for food include Melrose Arch, Parkhurst, Sandton, and Greenside. Smart-casual dress is a good bet. Many establishments are closed on Sunday night and Monday.

There's no way to do justice to the sheer scope and variety of Johannesburg's restaurants in a few examples. What follows is a (necessarily subjective) list of some of the best. Try asking locals what they recommend; eating out is the most popular form of entertainment in Johannesburg, and everyone has a list of favorite spots, which changes often.

  • 1. Doppio Zero

    $$ | Rosebank

    Doppio Zero serves wholesome, tasty Mediterranean-inspired meals with ingredients like grilled halloumi, fresh tomato, arugula, avocado, and salmon. More substantial meals such as pastas and pizzas are also on the menu. The outdoor seating is delightful on warm days. This chain of restaurants is found across Johannesburg, but the Rosebank branch is well located if you are peckish after a morning shopping at the nearby Rosebank Art and Craft Market or Rosebank shopping centers.

  • 2. Mike's Kitchen, Parktown

    $$ | Parktown North

    At Mike's Kitchen in Parktown, you'll find an extensive menu with hearty fare and a convivial atmosphere. The steak house is housed in an old mansion called Eikenlaan, which was built in 1903 for James Goch, a professional photographer and the first to use flash photography in South Africa. In 1985 the home was turned into a franchise of the Mike's Kitchen steak-house chain. There's a garden for kids to play in.

  • 3. Turn 'n Tender

    $$$ | Illovo

    Meat is the specialty at this upmarket steak-house chain, with a wide range of steaks, ribs, and burgers to choose from. For something very South African—and yet a little different from the popular oxtail dish—try the lamb steak slow-cooked in a rich brown gravy. Aside from the Illovo branch, there are other Turn 'n Tender outlets in Bryanston, Parktown North, Bedfordview, and Boksburg. Details for each can be found on the chain's website.
